Hunh.

I just received a whole shitload of messages on my voicemail...from several elderly people with thick Indian accents wishing me "a veddy veddy happy 21st birthday" and cautioning me "not to be drunk."

This is odd, inasmuch as I'm not turning 21 ever again, and don't have that many elderly Indian relatives. It was a bit of a surreal experience. They all sounded very cheerful and convinced that this was the right phone number to call. Occasionally multiple parties were put on the line to wish me a happy birthday, and the best of luck. Maybe they're right, and I'm wrong. Egads. Anyway, if they call back, I'm going to direct them to send money. So that I can better celebrate my, umm, birthday. Better late than never.
